I have a presentation where I have a WAV file starting on the first slide and
plays through my second slide. Then when I come to slide 3 the music stops.
This is what should happen. On slide 3 I have inserted 12 - MP3 files that I
want people to click on to listen to. They are individual testimonials.
They play when I click on them but if I click on a second one before the
first is finished playing they both play. Is there a way to stop the first
file from playing if they click on a second one before the first finishes?

Scott,

You could add a little 'autoshape' that has the 'action setting' to 'stop
previous sound' and label the autoshape 'stop sounds'

Thanks for your response TAJ Simmons. I tried this but when I click on the
newly created autoshape nothing happens. I set the action to stop sound. Do
you think it has anything to do with me using MP3's? Any other suggestions?

I firgured it out. I had inserted the sound using the insert audio file
which insert the speaker icon. I removed that and created autoshapes for
both the play and stop buttons. Works perfectly. Thank you.

Scott,

My fault... I just 'assume' that everyone uses the 'insert > sounds > from
file' (as it's the most reliable)

cheers
